But this couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, juice is NOT necessary for an infant. Here's why:</p> <p>- Because of the sugars in juice, it can cause diarrhea.</p> <p>- Too much juice can cause a child to be overweight or obese.</p> <p>- Juice contains sugars and acids that can cause tooth decay.</p> <p>- Giving your baby too much juice can hinder growth and development, and can cause malnutrition and anemia due to lack of nutrients like proteins and complex carbohydrates.</p> <p>- If you are still breastfeeding, juice can cause your baby to nurse less.</p> <p>Although juice contains Vitamin C, you don't want to give them too much. It should never be considered a supplement. If you must give your baby juice, consider these guidelines.</p> <p>- Wait until your baby is at least 6 months old. But even then, babies at this age still do not require it.</p> <p>- Dilute juice by at least half and half. Most grocery stores have a baby aisle with juice specially diluted for babies. These juices also contain more Vitamin C than regular juices, but are also more expensive.</p> <p>- Never give your baby juice from a bottle. And never give them juice from a cup to suck on all day. This can cause tooth decay.</p> <p>- Don't give your baby juice at bedtime.</p> <p>- Babies shouldn't have more than 150ml (one half cup) of juice a day.</p> <p>- Instead of giving fruits in liquid form, try giving them real fruit!</p> <p>- If your baby is thirsty, give them water instead. If your baby doesn't like water, try flavoring the water with a little bit of juice.</p> <p>- If you start feeding your baby water from the beginning, they won't naturally prefer juice instead of water.</p> <p>About the author: Cassandra Germsheid is the owner of Baby Tips Online (http://www.babytipsonline.com).
